Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Amit Mehta has ruled that the Department of Justice has not shown that criminal proceedings of BNP Paribas, S.A., which was prosecuted for evading economic sanctions against Sudan, Iran, and Cuba, is still ongoing to qualify for Exemption 7(A) (ongoing investigation or proceedings) coverage. Johnmark Majuc and Joseph Jok, two Sudanese refugees who were involved in a class action suit against BNPP, requested 33 categories of documents. The Justice Department's Criminal Division denied the request entirely under Exemption 7(A). Mehta pointed out that "it is unclear whether there is any ongoing enforcement proceeding. . .For the exemption to apply, a 'proceeding must remain pending at the time of [the court's] decision, not only at the time of the initial FOIA request.' Thus, records created at the time of an ongoing investigation are not automatically shielded from disclosure under 7(A). Rather, the documents must remain pertinent to a 'concrete prospective law enforcement proceeding' at the time of the court's decision. Vague mentions of ongoing proceedings are not enough to support Exemption 7(A)." He observed that "here, the court is left uncertain whether there is, at present, a pending investigation involving the responsive records." He added that "the court cannot grant summary judgment when faced with such glaring ambiguity about 'whether a related investigation is in fact ongoing.' That is particularly true when as here, the DOJ is claiming that all responsive records are categorically exempt from disclosure under 7(A)." The agency argued that potential witnesses might be intimidated if the records were disclosed. Mehta found this claim was diminished by the fact that the bank's prosecution occurred years ago and was already well known. He pointed out that "the investigation and prosecution of the bank has been public for a number of years, so the notion that a person or entity related to BNPP's sanctions violations might not know that he or she is, or will be subject to, an investigation seems dubious at best."
